fieldpiece...best tools for hvac techs...
Dang, Tony went above and beyond the call of duty to shoot that video! Good man not even acknowledging all the mouse 💩 on top of that furnace. #GettingDirty 😁👍
🤝 good work man! That was a raw environment.
Thank you very Much Tony for your Video Tony !!
That is AWESOME AND TONY IS THE BEST
Lol just remarkable that they figured this was a good spot to film a tutorial video. "No lighting? Check. Hot af? Check. Hunched over sitting in the dirt? Check. Rat turds? Check. Alright let's get after it."
This is the absolute best comment I've read in a very very long time
@@ddwalkerjr 😂
I mean it's real life
Is anyone else noticing all that mouse poop in the furnace lol
Sold I'm buying it Tony!
Very good video guys. Thanks for keeping it real with the rat poop 🐀😄👍💯
I love how he didn't even acknowledge it. 💩👍
Great Job Tony. Remind the customer that some rat poison might be recommended.
You the man tony
you can also take the pressure after the coil to see the restriction on the evap coil only, maybe its plugged, gl fixing that on that unit. or maybe their supply registers are all closed.
Usually static pressure comes mostly from the negative side. i bet their evap coil is matted up.
Thank you, great presentation…in a tight space, lol
If we want low or no restrictions for the system to work properly why do we give the home owner the ability to create an inefficient system the minute they close a heat/cooling vent?
You know its real cause of the Squirrel poop lol
So this procedure also helps me but It’s not just kinked duct work, it’s usually undersized duct work (return). Too fast or too slow of blower speed, and or air restriction on evap coil . Because the systems they’re putting out now not only blows more torque(ecm), but they also need more cfm on return.
Thank you for the tip!
Interesting to see all the data on the app. I am guessing there are psychrometers installed as well? I didn't see them in the video.
For that test you don't need the psychrometers, but we do have them in Job Link Probe form. They come in a kit or as individuals. www.fieldpiece.com/products/detail/jl3kh6-job-link-probes-charging-and-air-kit/job-link-probes/
I don't do hvac, just interested. would like to know if the furnace is in cooling or heating or do you do both ?
That was an "authentic" historical house with rat turds on the AHU and all.
😂
Great video! What did you find that was causing the high static pressure ?
That's for the next video. Haha.
They only know how to check static pressure and that's all they know, i honestly think they don't even know what's causing the issue, they only do videos for views, and here i am 😂😂😂
Rat turds and Tony's breathing. That s always affects the supply side.
When I check the TES Pressure and I have 0,8 or more...Which is the blower velocity (Low, Medium, or High) that should I set when I do the testing?
The blower setting should be the one that produces the air flow needed by the system. Compare the TESP to the blower chart and adjust as necessary. A typical cooling system needs between 350 and 400 CFM per ton.
All the units in the world and you pick the one in “Hades” 😂 great info anyways
The manufacturers should provide a hole for the furn outlet. What would that cost?
Carrier is the only manufacturer that I've ever seen do that.
Shannon Knight HVAC Trane has holes on the side for the probes.
I like that they filmed in a real location but can't help but to feel sorry for this guys who obviously has spent too much time recently in a air condition office. I keep thinking he needs some water and a oxygen tank😄

Do these measure air temp as well?
It's a old comment but I'll still answer it, they don't the only thing this great tool do measure gas pressure/ static/ and pressure switchs however note that for the pressure switchs they can't pressurize a pressure switch, for doing so you need a different type a manometer to do so.
How do you justify this as a dual port kit?
Each probe is a SINGLE port, unlike the Testo version.
So, because there are 2 single port manometer probes it is considered a dual port kit?
@@FieldpieceProducts
Or you could have ACTUAL dual port manometers by Testo that do the same thing.
Your set up is 2 single port manometers. Your very own website description of 1 of these makes that point.
@@jrsmyth9761 there is also an actual dual port fieldpiece manometer that also tests pressure switches this setup is just more convenient for certain applications
Ok, I am buying a set based on your video.
thx god we dnt have those systems intalled like that in florida lol
Just found this one. What do you mean "we don't have those installed like that in FL"? I have four clients on PCB where the air handler is under the house. Three of those are installed with the panels facing away from the scuttle hole and no room to crawl over. I have crawl to the lowest spot and squirm over old flex to leak check coil or troubleshooting heat or blower issues while laying in the dirt. Gotta get a skinny youngster on the payroll for those, or pass on the customer to someone else
Couldn't your "high" positive pressure be caused by a dirty heat exchanger?
Second question, Isn't the positive pressure measurement supposed to be taken 12 inches away from blower?
No and no
I had to put a respirator on just to watch the crawl space part.
I like the technology but for some reason the way the test was performed doesn’t look right… suppose it depends what unit your testing 🤷🏿♂️
Thank you for sharing. We’ll absolutely look into this!
I think tony is working too hard!
Watch out for snakes
Nice video, but dang you're out of breath bro. By the way you look much younger on your 2022 videos than 2020 videos.
No pristine lab setup for this video! Nothing like getting down and dirty in the rat turds to keep it real!
If there was a duct leaking in a tight/enclosed crawlspace, a supply air leak or a return air leak into the duct...the zeroing would be a worthless measurement. Your entire reading would be bogus.
I am assuming he started with the furnace off.
Tony why were you so out of breath going under that house? I'm 55 and fat your not man!
He doesn't even know what he's talking about, 120° to 130° in the crawl space?
Rat turds and marlboros baby. Always bad for tesp. Just ask my cat.
@@pedrocastano6410 in an attic maybe but not a crawl space.
That system ain't looking too good
I don't care about the beautiful historic home !! get to the point !
